Presbyterian Legacy of Enslavement and Racism is a 3-part series led by Pastor Peter Henry. This series is a separate event from our Social Justice Committee’s "With These Hands Memorial Discussion." Be sure to sign up for both, as they will be mutually enriching. After all, Davidson College and DCPC were founded at the same time by the same Presbyterians and the Davidson College report pertains to part of the Presbyterian legacy in the United States.
